"My name is Imarah Thompson (AE3 (AW), USN) and I am writing this on behalf of a friend of mine. His name is CPL Brian Felber and he is an Infantry Rifleman with 1st Battalion, 6th Marines, Bravo Company. On October 31st, 2011, during combat operations in Sangin, Afghanistan he was wounded by an IED; the results have rendered him as a double amputee. This was his 2nd Afganistan tour. He needs our help! We come from a small Southern town (Florence, AL) and there are quite a few of my childhood friends who are on their way to/currently serving in theater/finally returning home from the Middle East. This could have been any one of us! All I'm asking is that you put up a post asking people to become a fan of the Support Combat Wounded Marine Brian Felber page on Facebook and to visit the CPL Brian Felber Donation Page. We want to help him and his wife get their home ready and accessible for him, be able to afford better prosthetics, pay any medical/admin fees that may come up outside of military care, etc. Please, PLEASE help me get the word out." Check out the Facebook here In no way are these stories meant to be a guilt trip.

This is a CH-47 doing a static electrical discharge. The two rotors are 60 feet in diameter, so there is just a ton of coolness being emitted. Source
